Re: Pep Boys rant

for about half of us ( I think) We can remember when our dad's told us to go see Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith owned the local auto parts store. Our Dad's told us he would help us with the right parts. Well Mr. smith is long gone, and the mass merchandiser is in the hood. I remember when Joe Pugh was my Mr. Smith, and My Dad was his best customer. My dad ran a tire store/repair shop back in the day. I think back to when you could be a regular at the local auto parts store, and be 16 yrs old. Mr Smith knew you did not have all of the money you needed, but he knew your dad. He also knew you would do the right thing. Back in the day
